Spring prompts campus parties By MERRILY ROBINSON The farmers may need rain, but KU students will need all the sandbar space they can get for spring parties on the banks of the Kaw. A survey of KU's organized living groups revealed that at least 20 sororities, fraternities and residence halls are planning sandbar parties for April and May. Barn dances proved less popular. Only nine groups plan them. PROBABLY THE largest spring social gathering will be a street dance sponsored by Hashinger Hall, April 15. The hall parking lot will be roped off and residents of McCollum, Ellsworth and possibly Templem will attend. Although several of the living groups had formals at Christmas or earlier this spring,the majority will be during April and May at locations in Kansas City, Topeka and Lawrence. Most are scheduled for the weekends of April 14 and May 6. Fraternity party plans indicate that spring has lightly turned the fancies of many men students to thoughts of far-out parties. DELTA CHI fraternity will hold a "Tom Jones" party, April 15. They plan to reserve "The Shanty" and redecorate it in the style of an old English feast room. Members and their dates will attend in period costumes and will dine sane cutlery. Delta Upsilon fraternity has a similar idea, with the She DU party May 12 and 13. They will vacate their house Saturday evening so to enable their dates to move in. Saturday evening, dressed as Vikings, the DU's will storm the house and carry their dates off to a feast. As at the Delta Chi feast, silverware will not be used. A "grease party" has been planned by Kappa Sigma fraternity for May 5. All participants are to come dressed as Hell's Angels and, if possible, to decorate their cars with chrome strips and temporary decals. According to John Bondom, Kansas City, Mo., junior and Kappa Sigma social chairman, a case of beer will be awarded to the brother who "looks worst." DELTA TAU DELTA fraternity will hold its annual pajama party May 6. The dress will be dictated by the theme. Highlighting the decorations will be a specially-built 12x20 canopy bed. Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity has planned an "Arabian Nights" sandbar party for May 13. Tents will house party-goers clad in Rudolph Valentino fashion. Joseph R. Pearson residence hall will rent gambling equipment to stage a "Casino" party May 5 at the Hotel Eldridge. Play money will be used, but real doorprizes will be awarded the highest winners. THE THETA CHI sandbar party May 13 will have an unusual twist. Those attending will be given a sealed set of directions of riddle-like clues which they must follow to find the location of the party. A second envelope containing exact directions can be opened if the students get lost, but those resorting to it will be awarded penalties. Prizes will be given to those who arrive in the least time from the first set of directions. Alpha Tau Omega fraternity will decorate its house to resemble Paris slums for the annual "Apache" party, April 15. A slide will be installed on a stairway leading to the basement. ATO's and their dates, dressed in French "beat" fashion will enter on the slide. Phi Kappa Psi rflaternity will hold its annual "Phi Pi 500" on April 22. As before, girls from every living section will represent their group in a timed tricycle obstacle race. The People-to-People (P-t-P) job placement committee is abandoning direct matching of students with jobs. P-t-P changes job program Instead, it will maintain an open file on job opportunities in the P-t-P office, according to John Garvey, Wichita sophomore and P-t-P job placement committee chairman. Garvey said that with the open file, the international students can see for themselves the job positions for which they can apply. SO FAR THE COMMITTEE has received about 40 favorable letters for job possibilities this summer, Garvey said. It has about 70 applications from the international students. Garvey said the committee has sent out 500 personalized letters to prospective employers. Of all replies received so far, 100 are negative, he said. 12 Daily Kansan Thursday, March 23. 1967 THE EXPERIMENTAL THEATRE presents AN EVENING WITH DYLAN THOMAS March 28,29,30,31 Tickets on Sale at the Box Office 317 Murphy Hall Admission (KU Students): 75ยข Plus Certificate of Registration "canoe moe" Extra heavy, but soft and flexible, genuine California cowhide leather soft sole moc with air foam cushion inner sole... hand-laced with leather thongs.
